To advise the Executive of the outcome of a recent review of the Council’s pre-application planning advice service and charges.
A review of the Council’s pre-application planning advice service has recently been undertaken and found that it was broadly meeting the requirements of customers. The review also established that the Council’s current charges for providing pre-application planning advice, represent only partial recovery of the costs of delivering the service. A proposal is therefore being brought to the Executive to increase the level of charging to provide pre-application planning advice.
